The Science Council brings together over 30 organisations across the
breadth of science and its applications. In addition to promoting the
profession of scientist through the Chartered Scientist designation, the
Science Council is working to increase the number of students choosing to
study science post-16.
The Science Council is now seeking a part-time Content Editor and
Developer to assist with its high profile project, Careers from Science.
This collaborative initiative aims to give 11-19 year olds, and their
influencers, increased awareness of the breadth of opportunities available
from studying STEM subjects and that studying STEM does not just lead to
being a scientist or engineer, but that the skills and knowledge gained
can be used in an enormous range of roles.
Reporting to the Project Manager, the Content Editor and Developer will be
creating new content and editing existing material from project partners
both for print and the web. Amongst other activities the role will
include responsibility for developing and maintaining a “tone of voice”
for the site and overseeing the quality of content. The post-holder will
be a point of contact for the project, help develop partnership careers
projects and occasionally deputise for the Project Manager.

be considered but at least one day a week will be at the Science Council’s
office in Southwark. Salary £17,500 - £18,500 (pro-rata approx. £29,100 -
